THE FORTUNE' OF ARDALLAII.
A lIIISIAIt o sToRt.
Abdallah was it prosperous barber of
Shiraz. Ho married a woman of surpassing
beauty, , nt excessively. vain, so that his
whole substance was consumed. in providing
her( with dresses, trinkets, and the luxuries
Of a miniature harem. "
Above all other women, the wifo of Ilas
saU, tho king's astrologer, was envied by tho
wife of Abdallah, the unostentatious barber,
for this lady effected great grandeur t►nd
could afford it, on account of the largo sala
ry and handsomo presents bestowedl on her
husband,
Ono day the discontented beauty announ
ced to Abdallah that aho would no longer
continue to live with him unless he gave up
the miserable business of barber and adopted
that of astrologer. In vain did he represent
to her that trimming beards was his habit,
while of astrological predictions ho knew
nothing. Slio insisted, and the unfortunate
man, infuriated by affection, obeyed.
!!30, observing /the eccentric practices of
the astrologers; he took a brass basin and a'
pestle of steel into the bazaar, and smiting
his basin, cried aloud that ho would calculate
nativitios, predict the events of the future,
detect thieves, and recover lost property.
His "neighbora were astonished, and ono and
all said, "Abdallah, the barber, is certainly
mad l" But it chanced that a curtain lady
returning from the bath t walked through the
bazaar with her veil torn ; she appeared in
great distress, and upon hearing the cry of
Abdallah, set one of her slaves to him with.
a message z i , "If you aro an impostor, my
husband shall cause yon to be bastinadoed ;
if you aro really an astrologer, inform me
where I shall find to palace of pearl which
I have this day lost." Poor Abdallah, be
wildered; gazed upon the lady ; and gaining
time to invent AD 41118W6r 0 said : "She can
win the pearls, whenthei nee near, for the
veil is torn !" These words wore reported
to her by the slave and she uttered a cry of
joy. "Admirable prophet," she exclaimed.
"I placed my pearls for safety in a rent that
is in the veil of the bath," and she ordered
Abdallah to bo prolented with forty gold
pieces. Now, it should be known that in the
Persian baths are scr ens, the name of Whieh
is the sameas the naive word for "veil." So
Abdallah by a lucky accident of speech, had
not only saved hims6lf from the bastinado,
but he gained forty pieces of gold. ' •
At length another lady, the wife of the
King's treasurer, made her appearance, and
just at*that moment a messenger from the
treasurer, came up to Abdallah in the bazaar,
and spoke to him. The lady stood close by
and listened. "Abdallah," said the slave,
"my blaster has lost the King's great ruby ;
if thou had the wisdom of the stars, thou
eanst find it; if not, thou art a pretender,
and I will assuredly cause thee to be basti
nadoed.". This time the unfortunate barber
was at his wit's _ end. "Oh I woman," ho
exclaimed, ,"thou art the author of this."
He meant his own wife, but the treasurer's
wife who stood by imagined he referred to her.
Guilt is always pale, the poet —says. She
herself had stolen the King's ruby, and be
lieved that the astrologer was aware of the
crime. So when the, messenger had depart•
ed, leaving the barber petrified with per..
ploxity, she approached him and said, in a
soft tone—"o, astrologer! I confess that in
an hour of avarice I took the jewel. Restore
it without sending me, to condemnation l"
Abdallah sternly replied—" Woman, I know
thy guilt. Where is the jewel t" She, n,n•
swered, "Under the fourth cushion 'front the
door, in the apartment of ICashom, my lord's
Georgian slave." • Abdallah hastened to the
palace, was rewarded with a • robe of honor,
a thousand wild pieces, and a costly orna
ment.
tJrged by bis wife, Abdallah essayed oncill
more. The King's treasury .had been bri p
ken, and forty chests of money had bee
carried away. ' Not a trace of the thieves
had been discovered. The royal astrologer
bad tried every sort'of divination and failed,
and was therefore in disgrace. But the fame
of Abdallah, which was now spoken of in all
Shiraz, had reiichcd the ear of the King,
who sent for him, and gave him audience in
the hall of Kalent Serponceideh. "Abdal
lah," lie said, with a severe expression of
countenance, "art thou truly able to read
the stars?" • "Put me to the-proofl" an
swered the barber, who was now prepared
for the worst. "Then discover the forty
chests of money that have • been stolen, ,as
well as the criminal.t . Succeed, and then
thou shalt marry a princess, and become my
minister; fail, and I will hang thee 1"--r
"There must have been forty thieves I" said
Abdallah, making a fortunate and not diffi
cult guess. "Grant me forty days." "For
ty days thou shall have," said the King,
"thou shalt then die, or live for riches and
honor." .
So:the barber went home and told his
wife, and said, "I have forty days to live;
will sit upon my prayer mat and meditate on
the evils of life and the blessedness of death.
Give me I beg thee forty beans. At the hour
of evening praYei; daily,l will give thee one,
then, by.counting the remainder, I may re
member bow,many days --
. I have to live."
She complied, and 'every day at the exact
hour of sunset, Abdallah gave her a bean,
and said, with great firmness and solemnity,
"There, is one of them." And on the last
day he saidie an excited manner; "There
are the whole forty of theml" What was
its asyinishment, when, tit tae ittsbit,ttsll.**
les heard se tltO4Oor.
Crowd of men were edmitted p ..,end one of
them, oVidently#to cl444seid,"o Abdsdlek
Wise astrologer, thou alteltrecelitt the forty
chests • of gold, untouthed, but spkre our
lives." Inl supreme beiliderment he
answered, °This Welk, I should
have seized thee and thy wretched oozy:line'
ions. Toll me, on thy hoed ) , how thou ,
knowest that I pOssess this knowledge?"
"We heard," said the chief rabber, "that
this King had sent for thee. Thoro6re; , one
of us came at the hour of sunset to listen at
thy door, and heard thee say, 'There is ;One
of them.' W.° would not boliove his elorie
and sent two to ascertain ; 'and thou west
heard to say, "There aro two of thorn e and
this night, 0, wonderful! thou didst es.
claim, 'There aro the whole forty ;' but ro•
store the King's money, and do not deliver
us unto the executioner."
AbdoHalt premised to do what ho could.
Being admitted to tho palace, ho declared
that, owing to some mystery of the stars, it •
was given to Mm .to discover eithor the
thieves or tho treasure, but not both. The
monarch, at length, consented to take the
forty chests, and fulfilled his promise to
Abdallab.

the necessary amount of "annuity goods,"
including, of course, rifles and , ammuni•
